Busy tracing the Bassett/Wright connections in Michigan. Any information you may have regarding the Bassett name of Madison, Adrian, Dundee and surrounding areas and the Wright name from Azalia, MilanExeter etc would be welcomed. I do have the tree traced back to the 1600's on both sides, but need to fill in some gaps and add some supporting documentation...birth certificates, marriage records, death certificates etc. It was quite by chance that I wound up in Cass City, Mi in 1955. My parents had never even heard of the town when my father entered into a business venture with two other men from Detroit. They opened a branch in Cass City and my father came to manage it. Some time in the '60s my grandparents joined us there. My grandmother, who's maiden name was Wright, kept saying that there was a Wright family that looked like they could be relatives. Being that my grandmother was from SE Michigan, we did not pursue it. In 2012 I have finally found that many of my ancestors did, in fact, live in Cass City and that they are buried in the Elkland cemetery, my grandmother's final resting place. One of the ancestors was my grandmother's great uncle, Delos G. Wright and her father had been named after him. I was close friends with the GG granddaughter and didn't even know we were related. It really is a "small world". I am beginning to believe that we truly are all related in someway. So, maybe we should start treating each other better. By the way, feel free to copy and post any photo that I have taken."Do not go gentle into that good night....Rage, rage against the dying of the light"Dylan Thomas (Welsh poet)
